My husband and I had been planning a home remodel for several years and I had talked about it with Lisa many times. As the years passed, our needs changed, and by the time we were ready to start, the scope of the project had grown significantly. Lisa and her team of contractors were fantastic and easy to work with. The job was completed on time and within budget. The quality of the work is great and Lisa only works with the best sub-contractors. Lisa's attention to detail and follow-up makes her unique in the contracting world. We love the finished project and are so happy Lisa was able to transform our home!

In 2014 my husband and I began the process of building our retirement home in New Braunfels, TX. The construction process got tangled. The sale of our "old" home in Illinois was stalled. I was in TX. Hubby was in IL. Our builder (he came with the lot and subdivision -- not a choice we made) was disorganized, lacked procedures and had a casual relationship with deadlines. Turmoil. I was responsible for choices and selections -- fixtures, lighting, flooring, tile, appliances, granite, stone, etc. This was complicated by the reality that I didn't know any vendors, town, locations or agents. Turmoil. Lisa McKinney was recommended to me. She stepped in and up! She knew exactly where to go. We shopped and looked and then headed to where I could find the best bargain for my choices. She had contacts. When my builder was unavailable, she took over and measured and ordered. She is the definition of organization with energy. She has a mousetrap memory and can walk long distances in stylish shoes! When I gave into my much-too-conserative taste, she had a gentle way of directing me to something more bold. She has the skill of understanding what I wanted and then tweaking it to the fashionable best. When my mind over-loaded with too many choices, she would whisk me away to lunch and we talked about other things (family, retirement, blue bonnets) until I was refreshed and ready to take on the construction battle again. Lisa has become a friend. We have a lovely home now. I am grateful for her contribution to the success of your new life style. Thank you.
